Hi. I have a Telus Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate 3G+ (SGH-T959D), running 2.2, that I am trying to unlock. I have found several threads on this forum dealing with unlocking, but none of them specifically say that they will work with this model. Has anyone tried a specific method and worked? It would be greatly appreciated if someone could point me to the thread that unlocked their Telus Fascinate. Thank you!
have you done this yet?
No, I did not. I gave up to avoid making the phone nonfunctional.
Get SGS Unlock in the android market (free app)
I used it on my T959D when I went home to the philippines. Was able to use a sim I bought there and had perfect service, even 3g

SGS Unlock free edition wouldn't work for me on my telus fascinate.. but the pro version did.
I rooted it with super one click 1.5.5 first before doing the unlock.
I used the market app:
"Galaxy S Unlock,2.03,com.helroz.galaxysunlock"
on my T959D Telus running 2.2.
I had to use the 3 steps in the app because it only revealed FFFFFF for my unlock code.
I too was able to unlock a Telus SGH-T959D with Froyo 2.2 using "Galaxy S Unlock" ver 2.03 from the Market.
Had to do step 2 to do it, also had to have Internet connection. Which was not possible of course because the SIM was not working. Had to use the wifi connection.
The phone was rooted before that using SuperOneClick 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890821)
does his work with Gingerbread 2.3.3?

I just did this with my Telus Samsung fascinate lastnight actually. I currently have GB 2.3.3... I had to Root my phone, get BusyBox, and Superuser before the Unlock App would work. But my phone is unlocked now.
I was fooling around using my sister's Fido Sim in my phone for a couple hours before she noticed her phone had no sim in it lol
Used SuperOneClick to root and had to use SGS Unlock pro version. The free version would not work.
Anyway it is now rooted and unlocked.
Thanks all for the pointers.
Sort of reviving an old thread: I'm getting a T959D as well from Telus, wanted to know if I should upgrade to GB before unlocking using the above or not.
That is assuming it's not GB already (since it's a refurb).
/EDIT NVM, it came with GB 2.3.3
The free version of the Galaxy S unlock app worked for me. I had BusyBox and Superuser installed as the previous posts suggested, and was running a 4.0.4 ROM.
i have have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and im from the UK
i have seen tut of unlocking the boolader via "EZ-Unlock" but for Verizon S3's
sooo how do i go around doing it or doesn't it have one ???
Hi,
I purchased an AT&T Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 from eBay - when I upgraded the ICS today, the phone got locked. Unfortunately the seller didn't provided me with the Unlock key.
Please help me with the steps of unlocking it again.
Thanks,
Kamlesh
I am wondering if a net 10 Samsung Galaxy SII (sgh-s959g) can be unlocked for use with another carrier (t-mobile specifically)?
Would it have to be flashed with new software first?
Has anyone here done anything like this?
Thank you for any help or suggestions.
If it's not in here, then I guess you'd have to try galaxysim unlock.
You need to be rooted, of course.
